Indiana has no statewide teacher salary schedule. Pay is bargained corporation by corporation, and this grid comes from the salary appendix of the teacher contract this corporation filed with the state under IC 20-29.
Indiana's 2011 bargaining law bars paying on degree and experience alone, so many corporations letter their rows instead of numbering them by years of service and name their columns after endorsements rather than credit hours.
Article II of the contract, headed "New Hire Salary Scale"; the same table also prints 2026-27 columns $1,000 higher.
This is the placement schedule the contract publishes for teachers new to the corporation. Returning teachers are paid their prior-year salary plus the bargained increase, which the same contract sets out separately.
The contract states the starting salary for a new teacher with no experience is $52,000, with $1,000 more for a qualifying Master's degree, and allows the corporation to depart from the scale by up to $2,000.
The contract states the salary range as $51,000 to $98,856 before this agreement's raises and $53,000 to $110,617 after them.
Gateway also reports this corporation's minimum full-time teacher salary as $52,000.
Filed with Gateway on 11/14/2025.
- Soft spot: This filing's table is drawn with a subset font whose character map is broken, so its text layer reads as symbols rather than digits. The grid was read off the rendered page, then confirmed against an independent optical read and against the $52,000 starting salary the contract states in prose.
